Fauske Sprint vs Bodo/GlimtPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Fauske Sprint host Bodo/Glimt in round one of the NM Cupen, the Norwegian national cup that pits clubs from very different levels against each other. Fauske Sprint, a regional-league side, have had a tough recent run: just one win in their last five games, with heavy defeats including a 1-10 away loss to Harstad. Bodo/Glimt, who play in Norway's top flight and compete regularly in Europe, arrive off a near-perfect record instead: four wins and a draw in their last five matches, including European games against NEC Nijmegen and Union Saint-Gilloise. No head-to-head meetings between the two sides are on record. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
